Studio Manager Version 2 Installation Guide 3

Studio Manager is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors that control YAMAHA

hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings.

You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW (digital audio workstation)/

sequencer applications that are compatible with Total Recall, such as Cubase SX 3.0.1 or later. In either case, the

basic functionality is the same. For the latest information on compatible DAW applications, refer to the following

website.
